All the comments left here till April 30th will be entered for a random draw.

Started off with Sea Glass and then to add more depth I coloured in with Dusk Artist Marker.

I then went back in with Spica glitter pen to add tons of sparkle.

I don't know if you can see it, but here is a closeup.

On to my second card which again is fairly simple.

I heat embossed the flowers and leaves in white again on watercolour paper.

I watercoloured the leaves and flowers very loosely.

After the images were dry I diecut them and placed them on a watercoloured panel.

I stuck all images on different levels using foam tape.

Stamped the sentiment on a plain white strip and popped it over the cluster.

For my final card I went for a more grungy, loose watercolour look.

I did a bit of masking and stamped my flower on the front panel, heat embossed it in gold.

I added a lot of water to the entire front panel and began dropping different shades of blue watercolour focusing mainly on the flowers but not really worrying if the colour dropped outside the lines too.

I love the sentiments on this stamp set and I wanted to highlight them, so I picked out one and heat embossed it in gold on black cardstock. I added a thin strip of Gold Glitter Tape to one border.

Added some gold string and popped my sentiment tab over it using foam tape.

I also added some gold splatters to my front panel.

So there you go!

Three different looks using one stamp set.

Please leave a comment to let me know if you liked the cards, it would mean a lot.
